Tim O'Neill Member	posted 04-24-2003 07:39 PM I think that Johnson makes a whole line of guitars that are just perfect...cheap, durable and good sounding enough not to offend the odd semi-sober barfly.
Cosmic Wonder Member	posted 04-24-2003 09:40 PM Well, I know from experience that my Collings sounds fine after a few rounds. The only problem is that sometimes I forget where I put it. Hey! Did you see the whazoombuz on that waitress? Excuse me while I crawl over and ask her for her phone number. Mike

Besides, I can tell where I am used well; Such usage in heaven will never do well. But, if at the Church they would give us some ale, And a pleasant fire our souls to regale, We'd sing and we'd pray all the livelong day, Nor ever once wish from the Church to stray. Then the Parson might preach, and drink, and sing, And we'd be as happy as birds in the spring; And modest Dame Lurch, who is always at church, Would not have bandy children, nor fasting, nor birch. And God, like a father, rejoicing to see His children as pleasant and happy as He, Would have no more quarrel with the Devil or the barrel, But kiss him, and give him both drink and apparel.

Birdman Member	posted 04-28-2003 07:31 AM And yet oddly (or perhaps not so) the posts on this thread could be just as easily applied over there.
drathbun Member	posted 04-28-2003 02:30 PM All I know is... being drunk improves the sound of my guitar better than a Pearse Armrest, ebony bridge pins and a fossilized ivory bridge put together... to me that is. I still sound like a howling drunk to everyone else. Now if the patrons are drunk too, we have a terrific time as long as no one is recording. Just a word to the wise... beware of drunks near the soundhole of your guitar. Apparently "Fabreeze" does not work.

Alchohol and Johnson shouldn't be used in the same recommendation if you ask me.

GM Member	posted 04-29-2003 07:31 AM I might suggest one of the formica martins with micarta fingerboard. That way if all of the tables are taken during your break between sets you can use it as a table to set your drinks on. Those nasty rings will then wipe right off.
Duck Trapper Member	posted 04-29-2003 09:38 AM Formally dubbed Micartins, I believe.
